A wooden plank is 5.00 m long and supports a 75.0 kg block 2.00 m from one end. If the plank is uniform with mass of 30.0 kg, how much force is needed to support each end?
A heavy beam is 6.00m long and weighs 250N. It is hinged at one end and held so that it is 30° below the horizontal using a pivot at the left end of the beam. How much torque is produced about the pivot from the weight of the beam?
A 7.64-m uniform beam is hinged to a vertical wall and held horizontally by a 5.00-m cable attached to the wall 4.00 m above the hinge, as shown in the figure. The metal of this cable has a test strength of 728 N, which means that it will break if the tension in it exceeds that amount. What is the largest mass the beam can have? Round your answer to one decimal place.
